These people want to live forever because they know hell awaits for them in the afterlife for all their wrongdoings and for serving Satan.

Living forever gives them the best chance of not being held accountable for anything.
I’ve often thought about, theoretically, if I could live forever, that I could start a numbered corporation and work menial jobs, where nobody cares about your name, and invest any excess income that I could arrange. Eventually, investment would grow enough to provide and income where I didn’t have to work and I could just disappear from society completely.
Same idea, except they’d like to change world events seemingly without being known. That’s what they are trying to set up, a shadow world government.
Is that you, Mr. Soros?
I wonder if the elite won’t eventually reach such a point. There is a strange verse in the Bible that I’ve wondered about for years.
Rev 6:9
During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
Just a thought
Arrgh 9:6 not 6:9
Dislexics untie!
In the book, God’s Love which is a study on Daniel and Revelations, it says that is a time back when Islam ruled most of the world. People under its banner lived very miserable lives.
Interesting.
I doubt that it is like that at all. It would be much easier to just repent and live whatever remains of your natural life seeking forgiveness for your past sins, if you though there really is an ‘afterlife’
I doubt these people are introspective enough to reach such a conclusion.
They may worship Satan; they may gleefully do his bidding, but they really don’t BELIEVE in him.
“And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.” Rev 9:6
Won’t be able to die...sounds so harrowing and have had to use my imagination all my life until the last five years where we can see how they really are trying to beat God and be as gods.
Whatever the earth people are doing God has a plan for them and it’s past time to repent.
This is the fallacy of wanting to “live forever” in the current fallen world:
It doesn’t prevent you from dying by a traumatic incident. Earthquake, drowning, murder, explosion, poisoning, electrocution, fire, car crash....
What does Revelation 9:6 mean?
Prior verses described Satan releasing a horde of locust-like demons, limited to torment—not kill—unbelievers only. Their ability was comparted to that of a scorpion (Revelation 9:1–5). This verse reveals that the locust-like creatures' "scorpion" stings will be so painful that victims will want to die. The Greek wording of this verse implies that the people stung will seek death vehemently or earnestly. The pain of this experience will not be something one "gets used to."
That someone in horrible agony would want to die is not hard to understand. What's less clear, in this verse, is the implication that these afflicted non-believers will be unable to die. Somehow, in some way, they will be prevented from ending their own lives to cut short their suffering. What exactly this means, Scripture is not clear. Perhaps the sting so immobilizes victims that they give no outward sign of pain—preventing others from mercy killings or other interventions. Perhaps their condition renders them temporarily immune to other drugs and chemicals. Or, it might be simple supernatural intervention keeping them alive.
The reference to "five months" in the prior verse may, also, suggest that the effect of the demons' sting lasts five months for those who are stung. Scripture isn't explicit about this, but that possibility might explain why people would seek death for something so painful and chronic.
This period of inescapable torment parallels the concept of hell. Physical death is the separation of the spirit/soul from the body, which leads to eternal suffering for unbelievers. They will experience eternal death: a forever separation from God. Jesus told a story in Luke 16:19–31 about a rich unbeliever who died and went to Hades. His story also focused on Lazarus, a beggar who died and went to Paradise, where he enjoyed the company of Abraham. The rich man called upon Abraham to show him mercy by sending Lazarus to dip his finger in water and cool his tongue with the water. The rich man confessed he was "in anguish in this flame" (Luke 16:24). At the end of human history, the occupants who suffer in Hades will be consigned to the lake of fire, where their agony will continue eternally (Revelation 20:7–15).
They will wish death, but it will elude them
